Hello
The recent changes to the IPv6 stack seems to have killed my gif tunnel.
Although I'm not 100% convinced that my slightly odd configuration[1]
plays no role, I don't think it's the major issue.
What happens is that I do see traffic coming *into* the tunnel as well
as traffic going *out* of the tunnel, but that neighbour discovery seems
to go very wrong. My tunnel endpoint (2001:610:1108:5001::3f) is doing
a neighbour request for the remote endpoint (2001:610:1108:5001::3e), but
there's no response. Likewise, I see 2001:610:1108:5001::3e asking for
2001:610:1008:5001::3f, but ::3f isn't responding.
This means that if I do a tcpdump on gif0, and ping a known to be working
machine on the outside, I can see my ping requests pass by. If I do a tcpdump
on the external interface of my machine, I see them as well. But there's no
response. Likewise, if I try to ping my endpoint (or a machine in my
allocated range) from the outside, I can see the ping requests arrive at my
host (both on gif0 and the external interface), but nothing is being
transmitted back.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I might be able to convince the system
administration of my tunnel endpoint to do some diagnostics on their side of
the tunnel, if that would be helpful.
For the record, my ifconfig:

Default IPv6 route is 2001:610:1108:510::3e, default IPv4 route is
192.168.5.1. And yes, I know that this is a private address, but no, I can't
change it.
This setup works using a kernel built friday last week, but doesn't when
using a kernel built today.
Kind regards,
Martijn.
[1] My local tunnel endpoint is an alias of lo0, for various reasons.
